The Young Crystallographers are a working group within the German Society for Crystallography (DGK). For 10 years, we meet regularly in autumn at different universities or the STOE facilities.

These meetings specifically aim to provide a platform for networking and scientific exchange for young scientists with an interest in crystallography, as well as to establish contacts with industry and research institutions.
We want to give young scientists the opportunity to gain early experience in scientific presentation in a relaxed atmosphere and without the stress of a larger conference.

For our grand anniversary, we are happy to meet at the DESY facilities! We are working hard to allow you deep insights as well as a great overview of the possibilities at this large-scale facility.

During the 3-day meeting, you willÂ

• present your own work as a poster (A0 portrait) and lightning talk (~5 min.)
• have the DESY campus tour
• participate in an experiment and get a hands-on experience at a beamline of your choice at PETRA III (see The Experiments)
• hear academic talks from senior scientists
• hear industry talks from our sponsors/partners

At the end of the meeting, you will also have the chance to join a tour of the European XFEL Campus. If you intend to participate, please indicate so during registration. Note that you will need to get to the XFEL facilities by public transport as it is a bit outside the main DESY campus.

The registration fee of 60 € includes the tours and experiments at DESY, coffee breaks as well as lunch and BBQ on Thursday.

Deadline for registration is 22.08.23.

The 70th Annual Meeting of the American Crystallographic Association will be held from July 31 to August 7, 2020 in San Diego, California, USA.

The joint CCG/IG autumn meeting “By hook or by crook â€" structural solutions from challenging crystals” will be held at GSK in Stevenage on the 20th November. Registration for this event is now open. The full programme and details of financial support can be found at the url below

We warmly invite you to the 16th Conference of the Asian Crystallographic Association (AsCA 2019) to be held at University Town, National University of Singapore, Singapore on 17 â€" 20 December 2019, and crystallographic workshops on 15 â€" 17 December.
The AsCA 2019 serves to showcase rapid developments of crystallography in our region. We are anticipating more than 400 delegates from Asian countries. This will provide a platform for those working in these areas to present their most recent research findings and to exchange ideas in frontier research topics in crystallography. The meeting aims to organize a number of scientific sessions devoted to various research fields of crystallography, crystallographic workshops, flash presentations sessions for young researchers and a ‘Rising Star’ session featuring young scientists. The scientific scope of AsCA2019 will cover all important aspects of crystallography-related areas, including crystal growth/crystallisation, synchrotron, neutron & electron diffraction, structural biology, bioinformatics, chemical crystallography, crystal engineering, materials and polymer science, pharmaceuticals, electron microscopy, and much more.
As you might know, the first Asian Crystallographic Association conference (AsCA’92) was held in Singapore in November 1992 organized by the late Prof. Koh Lip Lin, Department of Chemistry. Thus, AsCA comes home to Singapore after 27 years!
We heartily welcome you to Singapore to participate in this conference along with your students, postdocs, colleagues, and others. Please mark the conference dates in your calendar. We are not sure when will be the next time you will see 400+ crystallographers in Singapore!
Yours sincerely,
JJ VITTAL Chair, Local Organizing Committee, AsCA 2019

To be held at Universidad Industrial de Santander

Registration for the next European Crystallographic Meeting (ECM32), due to take place at the University of Vienna, is now open. The ECM32 committee is setting up a programme covering the latest advances in crystallography and related sciences to attract young and senior scientists, companies and the general public. An extensive agenda for accompanying people will also be offered, with the aim of hosting a family-friendly conference. There will be a set of satellite meetings on 18th August, prior to the opening ceremony, including one specifically for young crystallographers to present their work in a more informal environment.Â

The conference will host a Science Slam on the evening of Monday 19th; this will provide the conferences attendees to present their work to the general public in an entertaining way!

Important Deadlines:Â

Early-bird registration deadline: 15th April

Abstract submission deadline: 29th April

End of regular registration: 15th June

End of late registration: 31st July
